The Star Wars Poster Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is the most comprehenstive look at the various Star Wars poster that have ever existed. Many of them we are familair with, but some we have never seen. Such as a cheep version of the classic '77 poster found in theaters in the USSR.
The side comments about the posters by the authors are cute and add a sense of true fandom. The pictures are in such good detail that you can read the tiny print found on the posters themselves in the book.
A must have for any diehard Star Wars fan. And for the Original Trilogy fans, they too will be delighted since 4/5 of the book focus on the Original Trilogy posters. *thumbs up*

One of the very first Star Wars posters had no images at alljust enormous block letters that announced, "Coming to Your Galaxy This Summer: Star Wars." The rest is history. Now, 28 years later, the 350 most amazing Star Wars movie posters are collected for the first time. This compilation spans the surreal to ultra realistic, the campy to darkly serious: Darth Vader's head exploding in a shower of camera parts; Anakin Skywalker casting an ominous Sith shadow; C-3PO and R2-D2 selling Star Wars shoes; Luke and Vader in mortal battle aboard the Death Star. Classic posters are joined with text by the world's foremost Star Wars collector, Stephen Sansweet, and poster collector Peter Vilmur, behind-the-scenes stories from artists and designers, a scarcity guide to over 2,000 posters, and a bootleg identification guide. Exploding with color, The Star Wars Poster Book illuminates an unexplored corner of Star Wars history.

Captive to Evil by Princess Leia Organa (Star Wars Journal) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This short book was written for the 9-12 age group, but is of interest to any Leia fan. It is well constructed, flows nicely, and contains new insights into her character. The author is obviously intrigued by the Han-Leia relationship and provides some interesting and fun details on their initial feelings towards each other, as well as on Leia's early relationship with Luke. This is not a "relationship" story, however, and those aspects are nicely balanced with action scenes. A good read, certainly appropriate for the intended age group, and, particularly at the low price, worthwhile for any Star Wars fan.

Princess Leia makes regular entries into her data pad, a palm-sized computer hidden in her belt. In each entry she recalls all the details of her intergalactic capture and rescue--and how she really feels about Han Solo and Luke.

Claws of the Dragon (Star Wars: Legacy, Vol. 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cade Skywalker is a rebellious and emotionally broken former Jedi. Sought by the evil Sith that now rule the galaxy, scheming factions of the Empire, and his own former teachers, Cade heads to Coruscant, the stronghold of his enemies, to try and make amends for the wrongs he has committed.
Claws of the Dragon is the most powerful and action-oriented addition to the Legacy series so far. Bringing together the various threads and backstories from Shards (Volume 2), CotD presents an excellent story filled with battles, scheming, and death that will rock the Star Wars Legacy universe. As well, the origins of such characters as Darth Krayt and Morrigan Corde are revealed.
CotD is my favorite entry in the SW:L universe so far, and I highly recommend it to both graphic novel enthusiasts and Star Wars fans. Volumes 1 and 2 should be read first, however, as Volume 3 builds significantly on the previously-established storylines.
Note: Star Wars Legacy, Volume 3: Claws of the Dragon collects issues 14 through 19 of the comic book series.

Shards (Star Wars: Legacy, Vol. 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Star Wars Legacy: Shards is a collection of issues from the comic book series of the same name. The series is set in the "future" of the movie universe - a time during which Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and most of the other well-known heroes are long dead (though their influence remains). The series uses a dark tone similar to that of Empire Strikes Back, and is not for young children or those that can't handle mature subject matter.
Unlike the first volume, the stories collected in Shards do not follow one primary thread - they are small pieces and backstories that help to define the Legacy universe as a whole. These stories are quite varied, and tend not to focus on the principle characters in the previous volume (Cade Skywalker, the main character in Broken, for instance, doesn't even make an appearance in this volume until 3/4ths of the way through). The nature of this volume might disappoint readers that want more of the epic Star Wars flavor that was found in Broken, but they should be happy with the next Legacy volume, _Claws of the Dragon_, that uses the background built here to present an enthralling adventure readers won't want to miss.
Note: Shards contains issues four, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and thirteen of the comic book series.
